...................Love is a luxury that I can't afford but you're a debt I will collect..........
Swarnalekha excused herself from the table and made her way to the restaurant washroom.
As she closed the door behind her, she took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. The date with Kaidan wasn't going as smoothly as she had hoped. She was going to get scolded by Ameha.
Meanwhile, his phone began to ring.
He glanced down and saw it was his friend Ranveer calling. "Hey man, tell me, did the date work out?" He sounded eager.
He sighed and took a sip of his coffee. "Actually, Ameha sent a replacement instead," he admitted.
There was a brief pause before Ranveer erupted. "What? How dare she! She's looking down on you!" he shouted.
Kaidan couldn't help but chuckle. "You know, I think I'm going to take the replacement instead," he said, glancing up as Swarnalekha emerged from the washroom.
"Are you serious? Isn't that a bit cheap?" Ranveer asked, coughing in disbelief.
Kaid smiled cruelly. "Even pearl comes from oyester shit.We still wear it," he stated firmly, just as a sudden gunshot echoed through the restaurant.
Swarnalekha let out a terrified scream, backing away from the scene.
To her horror, she watched as Kaidan pulled out a gun and shot someone dead, right in front of her eyes.
The next second he took up a knife and was slashing them like a ninja.
She was frozen in shock, staring into his bloodthirsty gaze as he approached her. An unreadable smile hanging on his face as he looked unperturbed.
"Don't mind them I deal with people like them often," he said calmly, reaching out to grab her hand. "Let's go somewhere more private."
She yanked her hand away, a mix of fear and horror in her eyes. "You..."
she whispered, unable to find the words to express the sheer horror of what she had just witnessed.
"Yes me.... I think we should forget about stupid things and talk about our marriage. Our wedding dress,stylists,theme,venue....."
She backed away, her eyes wide with fear. "I'm not going anywhere with you. You killed people and look cool as a cucumber. Have you lost your mind?Who are you?"
He scowled, his jaw clenching. "Don't call me disgusting when you're just someone's replacement. How much did Ameha give you to make a fool of me?"
She gasped as his piercing gaze swept over her, making her shiver.
"I know you're not Ameha," he said, a twisted smile forming on his lips. "But..." He paused, the unspoken words hanging in the air. "I've made up my mind. You're going to be my bride."
